WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTATION?

Environmental consultation helps assess and reduce the impact of projects on the natural environment. An environmental consultant guides businesses and developers in making informed decisions while staying compliant with local, provincial, and federal regulations.

Consultants focus on identifying risks early, offering practical solutions, and handling complex permitting requirements. This often includes:

  • Assessing environmental risks and impacts

  • Managing regulatory compliance and permits

  • Developing strategies that balance project goals with environmental responsibility

In short, environmental consultation helps you move your project forward responsibly and sustainably.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES

Environmental Site Assessments (Phase 1, 2 & 3)

Before you invest in property or start development, understanding potential environmental risks is crucial. Our team conducts comprehensive Phase 1, 2, and 3 assessments to identify contamination, evaluate liabilities, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. These assessments provide the insights you need to make informed decisions and protect your investment.

Environmental Remediation

When contamination is detected, swift and compliant remediation is necessary. We provide expert consulting and oversight for cleaning up impacted soil, groundwater, and surface water. While we handle remediation planning, coordination, and regulatory reporting, actual cleanup work is subcontracted to certified specialists when needed, guaranteeing safety and adherence to environmental standards.

Renewable Energy Assessments

Renewable energy projects come with unique environmental challenges and permitting requirements. We provide impact studies, site evaluations, and permitting support specifically designed for wind, solar, and other renewable energy developments. Our knowledge helps your project move forward responsibly and in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Wetland Assessments

Wetlands play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem balance and are often highly regulated. We perform detailed wetland evaluations to identify, classify, and assess sensitive areas while assisting with Water Act applications and development planning. Our approach helps you go through regulatory complexities while preserving natural resources.

Restoration & Reclamation

After industrial or development activities, disturbed areas often need ecological restoration. We design and implement customized restoration strategies to return sites to their natural state, stabilize soils, and reintroduce native vegetation. Our goal is to help you meet regulatory requirements while supporting long-term environmental sustainability.

GIS Mapping & Spatial Analysis

Accurate spatial data is key to planning and permitting. Our GIS mapping services deliver detailed environmental maps, rare plant surveys, and spatial analyses to support your regulatory submissions and project development. With advanced mapping technologies, we provide clear insights to guide decision-making.

Wildlife Sweeps & Surveys

Before beginning any construction or land development, protecting wildlife and their habitats is important. Our on-site inspections identify endangered species, sensitive habitats, and invasive plant species, making sure your project remains compliant with environmental regulations while supporting biodiversity.

Bioengineering Solutions

Erosion and soil instability can put both infrastructure and ecosystems at risk. Our bioengineering solutions combine science-based strategies with natural vegetation reinforcement to stabilize slopes, control erosion, and restore habitat health. These techniques offer environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional hardscaping methods.
